Ukraine has been borrowing from the International Monetary Fund since 1992, can’t pay back the loans, and the USA is the mafia-style enforcement thug sent in to collect.

20:59:59 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

21:03:28 From  Richard Wright  to  Everyone:

               So far only a demonstration and virtual at that. There are many here who work within the Democratic Party. Your power is the power of a strike - do not work or contribute to the those who continue to support the DNC and Jo Biden.

21:03:34 From  Andre Sheldon  to  Everyone:

               To set in motion a continual peace movement, whether an all out war breaks out or not, I propose enlisting a group with the highest possibility of enlisting the PEOPLE in EVERY COUNTRY to participate – WOMEN.

              

               It’s not about women.  It is about change in ourselves and changing the culture of violence.  Look at these slogans: 

              

               WILPF's slogan at the their centennial was "Women's Power to Stop War."

               CODEPINK's slogan is "Women Say No to War." 

              

               It is time for the peace movement to REACH into EVERY HOUSEHOLD to ask WOMEN in every country to rise-up as the peacemakers, then invite the men.

              

               Women have an advantage promoting peace because they usually are socialized to be less physically violent than men.  WEll?

21:03:59 From  Jon Krampner  to  Everyone:

21:04:44 From  Jim Haber  to  Everyone:

               The Kiev regime awarded their highest honor of Hero of Ukraine to Stepan Bandera who in July 1941 proclaimed to Jews : "We will throw your heads at Hitler's feet".

               His organization murdered 200K Jews in Ukraine from 1941 to 1945  !

21:05:10 From  Manj Vimukthi  to  Hosts and panelists:

21:05:23 From  Kristin Dooley  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Great talk, Sara!!

21:05:25 From  Barbara Bova  to  Everyone:

               I am interested in what you are saying...but not sure I agree. Am I still welcome on this call?. You all seem very aggressive and certain of your positions. My question would be...will the world be safer without NATO? I see it as a protective force. Not really in favor of expansion of  NATO. I'm a child of Vietman...my parents were children of Appeasement. Saying no to war doesn't seem to be the same thing as saying no to NATO. Are you saying that the US and NATO are imperialist but Russia is not?  asking sincerely

21:05:29 From  Jean Stevens  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Right on Sara!

21:05:35 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               just FYI everybody, Code Pink has great graphics and poster you can put on social media with bold colors and messages / and they have a petition too

               Points from my talk: U.S. war on Russia: a stampede off a cliff

              

                              https://www.workers.org/2022/02/61961/

21:06:20 From  Pamela K Babkin-Tetarenko  to  Everyone:

               My apologies for posting this twice but I did not quite finish my comment.   Thank you to everyone involved in the critical effort to Stand Up for Peace for All People.  I agree with and encourage the plan to educate people on the history of Russia and the formation of Ukraine and relationship of the people of the Donbass and Russia.  Spasibo.  Спасибо.

21:06:23 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               The US has 800 bases around the world, and has committed 50 regime changes in the last 10 or so years.   How many has Russia committed?

21:06:31 From  Dana Visalli  to  Everyone:

               The actual problem is that people want to be lied to. That's important to understand.

21:06:51 From  Adam Staudacher  to  Everyone:

               So great to hear from Margaret, RIP Kevin Zeese. Popular Resistance does such great work y'all.

21:06:52 From  Jay Wilber  to  Everyone:

               Stopping Nord 2 a great self-defeating move. Germany don’t really want to do that, obviously.

21:07:02 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               See info on Operation Gladio. A former Italian president said that 911 was a false flag. I now have more proof.

21:07:10 From  Kathy Guruwaya  to  Everyone:

               Yes Adam, agreed.

21:07:26 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               Sounds like Germany is capitulating to Washington

21:07:34 From  Zachary Bowersock  to  Everyone:

               Gotta pump those numbers up

21:07:38 From  Jim Haber  to  Everyone:

               @ Barbara Bova, Many people on this call have been opposed to the horrors caused by the United States government because that is where many of us are from. I have demonstrated against NATO for many years, even decades (gasp).

21:07:39 From  Jon Krampner  to  Everyone:

               Yes, RIP Kevin Zeese.

21:07:49 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               Dana Visalli, I agree. People get very mean when we talk of peace because they want to think of the US as "the good guys" that has been their comfort zone

21:08:01 From  Stan Woods  to  Everyone:

               Barbara,

              

               There are very complicated analyses of the question of whether Russia is an imperialist country, but I think a simple way to start answering your question is to look at the boundaries of NATO since 1991, and ask what underlying military, economic and social forces are responsible for those changes.

              

               Richard

21:08:19 From  Jay Wilber  to  Everyone:

               Have you said how many attendees yet??

21:08:21 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               No Afghanis involved.

21:08:24 From  Richard Wright  to  Everyone:

               A demonstation is short for demonstration of power. 200 people nationwide is NOT a demonstration of power.

21:08:27 From  Eric Calderone  to  Everyone:

               Germany is not a free agent. In foreign relations, it is a client state of US.

21:08:30 From  Matt Nicodemus  to  Everyone:

               While we, as Americans, have most opportunity and a duty to influence our own government toward peaceful behavior in the world, we have a moral-ethical-political responsibility to analyze as correctly and honestly as we can and call out imperialism in each and all of its forms.  My own assessment is that America, Russia, and China are all imperialistic, each in their own unique way.  If we don't acknowledge that in our analyses, we won't create policy and practice which can effectively respond to the world's imperialism-created suffering and antagonism.

21:08:31 From  Mkellykarths Kelly  to  Everyone:

               Peace, Margaret!

21:08:34 From  Don Bryant  to  Everyone:

               Kevin Zeese, Presente!

21:08:38 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

               US/NATO/AUKUS have 800 military bases

               Russia has 1 in Syria

               China has 1 in Djibouti

               who is imperialist?

21:08:42 From  Jim Haber  to  Everyone:

               @Barbara Bova, I look at the military budgets, and I must oppose the Pentagon first.

21:08:49 From  Karen Perkins  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Germany capitulated and closed NordStream Stock market talking about more US fracking for Europe.

21:08:52 From  Jean Stevens  to  Hosts and panelists:

               NATO a was designed for the Soviet era.  It is now obsolete as Soviet era is gone.  Putin wanted to join the EU but was refused.

21:08:54 From  Kathy Guruwaya  to  Everyone:

               TY Margaret, admire your work.

21:08:57 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Change the narrative, create a new story.

21:09:03 From  Kristin Dooley  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Thanks, Margaret!

21:09:13 From  jemima pierre  to  Everyone:

               TY Margaret

21:09:16 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Thank you, Margaret, for stressing the compromised role of the Western MSM.

21:09:18 From  Mark Hagar  to  Everyone:

               Diane Foster, Yours is the most critical question.  Will Germany cave to US demands or do what is in the best interest of Germany?

21:09:22 From  Jay Wilber  to  Everyone:

               Wow. Thanks! Great...

21:09:27 From  Jim Haber  to  Everyone:

               NATO is a horrific force in the world. Anything wrong with Russia, and NATO isn't helping.

21:09:35 From  Mary Beth Sullivan  to  Everyone:

               Check out Bruce Gagnon's blog for more info on Ukraine and Russia. http://space4peace.blogspot.com/

21:09:42 From  Vanessa Maria  to  Everyone:

               Russians, Ukrainians, and Americans do not want war. We actually would like to unite against the real enemy which is the climate crisis, COVID-19, and the lack of resources like food, clean water, housing, and healthcare.  Imagine if we spent the defense budget on fighting that.

21:09:51 From  jim wohlgemuth  to  Everyone:

               Good to see you Bruce

21:09:54 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               The corporations want us to send our sons and daughter to die so they can grab the resources buried under Ukraine and profit from that

21:10:09 From  Gustavo F.  to  Everyone:

               Is it possible to extend this call to give folks more time to speak. Very important. Thanks

21:10:12 From  Kathy Guruwaya  to  Everyone:

21:11:14 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

21:11:50 From  Stan Woods  to  Everyone:

               To Barbara Bova < To answer all of your questions would take too long for this thread , But just one point , Imagine the reaction from say the WH and the Pentagon if Mexico announced that they were asking for a Military alliance with Russia or China . How soon would Mexico City be bombed ??

21:11:59 From  Stephanie H  to  Everyone:

               We can definitely say to ALL who oppose fracking: if you oppose fracking, you oppose a Biden/NATO war that they want to cement the sale of liquefied (and fracked) natural gas (LNG) to Europe

21:12:01 From  Alvin Ja  to  Everyone:

               Barbara Bova:  NATO is defensive in name only.  It was set up to contain USSR.  USSR dissolved in early 1990's and became a bunch of failed states.  Russia was in no position to be aggressive.  In fact, Russia was interested in joining NATO.  NATO lost its mission at that time.  Far from protecting and defending, it has become offensive aggressive (Libya, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia).

               My compliments to the time keeper: you're really doing your job!

21:12:19 From  Betsey Piette  to  Everyone:

               We have to challenge so-called 'independent media" like NPR which day after day provide a platform for CIA spokes people to spew US propaganda.

21:12:41 From  Jean Stevens  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Right on David Swanson and Oliver Stone’s Prize winning film, Ukraine on Fire, at the Taormina Film Festival 2019.

21:12:41 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Yes, Bruce, thank you for all of your research. We do need to educate Americans. I listened to Putin's speech yesterday. He said that this security crisis is the result of NATO expansion threatening Russia.

21:12:47 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

               How would Biden like it if Russia had bases from Vancouver to Montreal, from Tijuana to Matamoros?

21:12:49 From  Stephen Wall  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Trump canceled the treaty—putin’s buddy

21:12:50 From  Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK, Washington DC  to  Everyone:

21:13:41 From  Lauren Steiner  to  Everyone:

               Exactly, Betsey. NPR is quite compromised.

21:13:47 From  Jon Krampner  to  Everyone:

               Whew -- I thought I had lost my hearing.

21:13:53 From  john alder  to  Everyone:

               russia and ukraine are two separate countries , they should stick to their own business and but out of the others , unless it spitsout over the borders

21:13:59 From  David Phelps  to  Everyone:

               Neoconservative Propaganda Radio

21:14:04 From  Erica Caines  to  Everyone:

               Ukraine is not even a bona fide country. For the past millennium is was part of Russia.

21:14:53 From  Beth Angel  to  Everyone:

               -https://fair.org/home/what-you-should-really-know-about-ukraine/

21:15:12 From  HARRIET HEYWOOD  to  Everyone:

               Amen Margaret!

21:15:29 From  Michael Fox  to  Everyone:

               What do the Ukranians living in the area where the Russian tanks rolled in have to say? Do THEY want the Russians there?

21:15:31 From  Jean Stevens  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Agree with you John.  We must mind our own business of taking care of our own citizens with healthcare and housing.

21:15:32 From  Kristin Dooley  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Great resources are in this chat. Can someone be sure to save this and post it on the UNAC site?

21:15:37 From  Andre Sheldon  to  Everyone:

               Gandhi and King would know what to do.  They would unite the people first, make nonviolence the goal and the people in every country will demand that their own government “RENOUNCE WAR.”  

              

               To Stop the War:  I propose new global peace movement --a Gandhi/King-like people movement called a Global Movement of Nonviolence (GMofNV).   A GMofNV asks the “people” and EVERY GOVERNMENT to “Commit to Nonviolence.”  

              

               Without the people in every country, there will be no change!

              

               Andre@GlobalStrategyofNonviolence.org

               Biden will have a state of union address soon...how do we break through the noise machine?

21:15:56 From  Lauren Steiner  to  Everyone:

               Did she say ended the scheme or outed the scheme? Because Germany withdrew approval today.

21:15:57 From  Betsey Piette  to  Everyone:

               Like western Africa which is rising up against French occupation.

21:16:03 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               Eric Calderone, I believe there are cultural differences between Ukranians and Russians. Yet there are more Russians in the Dombas region, and they are strongly discriminated against.

21:16:15 From  Ellie Ommani  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Yeah, Margaret!! Call the imperialist USA OUT AROUND THE WORLD!!

21:16:25 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Geez ever been shelled?

21:16:34 From  Richard McCluskey  to  Hosts and panelists:

               If your "news” has advertising in it, it’s not news, it’s propaganda

21:16:48 From  Jon Olsen  to  Everyone:

               The people of Donbass celebrated with fireworks upon hearing Putin's speech!

21:17:07 From  Erica Caines  to  Everyone:

               CLEAR IT UP!!!

21:17:10 From  Bill Habedank  to  Everyone:

               The US and NATO (consider one and the same) has refused to give Russia and Putin any consideration of pulling back NATO - the reason Putin has acted as he has

21:17:11 From  jemima pierre  to  Everyone:

               As are so many of these African leaders

21:17:15 From  中島   to  Hosts and panelists:

               From Hiroshima   <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ftakeshi.nakashima.50%2Fposts%2F7116672641736641&show_text=true&width=500" width="500" height="728" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share"></iframe>

21:17:17 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

               1200 years ago Kievan Rus gave birth to 3 nations: Ukraine, Bielorussia and Russia. They are 3 sister nations from the very same Mother!

               NO TO IT ALL!

21:17:47 From  Ingrid Monkiewicz  to  Hosts and panelists:

               NordStream is suspended, not ended.  But it wasn't operational yet, anyway.

21:17:48 From  Eric Calderone  to  Everyone:

               cultural differences in western Ukraine, yes. But the middle and eastern  parts have a culture quite similar to Russia. Ukraine based on its past history cannot be considered a State.

21:17:51 From  Kristin Dooley  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Go, Margaret! A better world is possible!

21:17:52 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Keep in mind, NATO was never meant to be that close to Russia’s borders originally. It was supposed to stop around Poland. The West has found no moral or diplomatic problem with a massive expansion of NATO nations, until they are almost on Russia’s door. Effective diplomacy must acknowledge that.

21:17:52 From  Taylor Ikehara  to  Hosts and panelists:

               🔥

21:17:54 From  Betsey Piette  to  Everyone:

               Also the Moroccans invasion of the Indigenous which is now usurped into Morocan Sahara and the USA supports that!  What hypocrisy!

21:19:09 From  Dana Visalli  to  Everyone:

               It's Pentagod, not Pentagon.

21:19:21 From  Jon Krampner  to  Everyone:

               I stand corrected.

21:21:15 From  Jay Wilber  to  Everyone:

               Today’s headlines are a mystery... “Putin Orders Forces Into...” When did they actually GO INTO eastern Ukraine - Luhansk and Donetsk?? How many troops?? Fact-free US corporate media (i.e., horseshit...) You want to get your “news” from f-ing “Joe Biden”?? Where do we think HE gets it?? CIA headline-writing department; 6th floor; McLean, VA, to be sure.

21:21:18 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

21:21:22 From  Lauren Steiner  to  Everyone:

               Did a great show on this with Kevin Zeese in 2019. We spent $5 billion funding an opposition to the democratically elected president because he didn’t want to join the EU and NATO and we put in the president, prime minister and finance minister. https://youtu.be/aLVHtETA7dg

21:21:30 From  Diana Merlo  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Exactly Jeff! Memory. Action. We can’t let this Empire and its allies keep destroying the world.

21:21:34 From  Barbara Bova  to  Everyone:

               appreciate your responses...I had not heard about the pipeline/fracking gas issue. I don't buy Putin as a victim and from what I know of his businesses see him as an capitalist and his imperialist. I do not support what US has done in Syria, Iraq, feel the Palestinians are victims, do not consider myself in ANY way in favor of war. I will try and find out more information. I do not believe in American exceptionalism and do not favor spending the money we do on the US military. I am not at all sure, however, the world will be safer or freer under autocrats. propaganda. I am a child of Vietnam, do not support much of what the US has done, but

21:21:35 From  john alder  to  Everyone:

               Stop the Ceasar Sanctions on Syria!

21:21:50 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               Documents Reveal US Gov’t Spent $22M Promoting Anti-Russia Narrative in Ukraine and Abroad

               The National Endowment for Democracy can claim it is in the business of democracy promotion. In reality, it does anything but that, unless “democracy” is entirely synonymous with elite U.S. interests.

               Yes David does good humanity.

21:33:45 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               Pointing out things the US empire has done while it shrieks about the actions of a foreign government will get you accused of “whataboutism”, but it’s not a whataboutism. It’s pointing out that the US is the absolute least qualified government on earth to comment on the issue at hand, so it should shut the whole entire fuck up about it. If the US wants to legitimately complain about the transgressions of unaligned governments, then it must cease being the worst transgressor.

21:34:03 From  Andre Sheldon  to  Everyone:

               Ajamu Baraka mentioned patriarchy.  There is no blame, but an acknowledgement of the problem, the macho male way of resolving conflict via the military is ingrained in men and women.  It is time to change.  

              

               Vandana Shiva said in a short video, “Nonviolence, in my view, is stronger than violence.  Stronger because it builds the resilience of the spirit.  And no power on earth, no force on earth can crush the spirit!”

              

               This is POWER.  THE PEOPLE will see the power and join in.  To get the people in the streets.  Go where there is power!

21:34:04 From  Jean Stevens  to  Everyone:

               Bravo all these peace organizations!  We must get the world to rise up for peace!  The major music and media personalities must stand up for sanity!  No more of our 50% tax money going to the military industrial complex not even including the insanity of the nuke bomb modernization!

21:34:26 From  HARRIET HEYWOOD  to  Everyone:

               Thank you for your tongue in cheek.

21:34:28 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               What the US and its proxies are doing in Yemen alone is orders of magnitude worse than anything Russia is doing to Ukraine. Or what the US is doing in Afghanistan. Or in Venezuela. Or in Syria. Hell, the Biden administration has already done worse than what Putin just did in recognizing Israel’s outright annexation of the Golan Heights.

              

               To say nothing of the fact that the US thought so little of Ukrainian sovereignty in 2014 that it was perfectly comfortable staging a coup there with the support of actual neo-Nazi militias, who the liberal media are still running PR segments for to this day even after years of yelling about Donald Trump’s intimacy with the far right.

21:38:23 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               Professor Stephen Cohen, acclaimed as America’s leading authority on Russia, wrote, “The pogrom-like burning to death of ethnic Russians and others in Odessa reawakened memories of Nazi extermination squads in Ukraine during world war two. [Today] storm-like assaults on gays, Jews, elderly ethnic Russians, and other ‘impure’ citizens are widespread throughout Kyiv-ruled Ukraine, along with torchlight marches reminiscent of those that eventually inflamed Germany in the late 1920s and 1930s …

21:38:25 From  George Friday  to  Everyone:

               Congress sucks but they count numbers and they can be pushed to act right!

21:38:27 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               JOE, Are you looking at Google Doc?

21:38:59 From  Alma Bruhnke  to  Everyone:

               Folks should reach out to the Indivisible groups throughout the US. There are thousands. They are activist Democrats, mostly middle of the road but SOME have some open ears. They mostly have open mic during their meetings, or will give 5 minutes or so for a presentation. They are our neighbors. I have found them approachable. They also are connected with their Congress people and meet with them.

21:39:05 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Call the white house! That's funny!!

21:39:14 From  Sally Jones  to  Everyone:

               we need some young people, call on Erica Caines and/or Salifu

21:39:58 From  Jay Wilber  to  Everyone:

               Stone-produced film is not the best on this subject by far. I think it’s too biased toward a “narrative” that gives excessive weight to only the Russian Gov perspective. Mearsheimer a better place to start, as he covers the Coup in 2014 and much else in a very factual manner.

21:40:09 From  Cleo Carol Knopf  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Where is the March 19th action? Will there be one in NYC?

21:40:27 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               Almost every Russian knows that it was across the plains of Ukraine’s “borderland” that Hitler’s divisions swept from the west in 1941, bolstered by Ukraine’s Nazi cultists and collaborators. The result was more than 20 million Russians dead.

21:40:35 From  Mike Heichman  to  Everyone:

               Live for your PLANET

21:41:17 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               etting aside the maneuvers and cynicism of geopolitics, whomever the players, this historical memory is the driving force behind Russia’s respect-seeking, self-protective security proposals, which were published in Moscow in the week the UN voted 130-2 to outlaw Nazism. They are:

              

               NATO guarantees that it will not deploy missiles in nations bordering Russia. (They are already in place from Slovenia to Romania, with Poland to follow)

               NATO to stop military and naval exercises in nations and seas bordering Russia.

               Ukraine will not become a member of NATO.

               the West and Russia to sign a binding East-West security pact.

               – the landmark treaty between the U.S. and Russia covering intermediate-range nuclear weapons to be restored. (The U.S. abandoned it in 2019)

21:41:22 From  Lars Anderson  to  Everyone:

               As a young millennial, I am inspired by the speakers in older generations. Thank-you all for testifying on this important issue and showing us how to engage in this movement. May there be more solidarity in the coming weeks and in the streets.

               Prominent Canadian news broadcaster Wendy Mesley exposes the role of billionaire campaign donor Sheldon Adelson in getting the U.S. embassy moved to Jerusalem, Trump’s abandonment of the Iran nuclear deal, and both U.S. and Canadian politics in general.

              

               Adelson, the tenth richest man in the world and the GOP's largest donor, is known to use his money to influence policies on behalf of Israel.

              

               After trump tore up the Iran agreement, Adelson donated an additional $30 million to the Republican party, possibly the single largest single donation in U.S. history.

              

               Adelson also influenced former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who endorsed Trump's embassy action and anti-Iran move.

               U.S. political administrations come and go. The U.S. MIC will always be with us.

               Very disappointing!

21:51:03 From  HARRIET HEYWOOD  to  Everyone:

21:52:32 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               I have a question -- does Russia intend to "take over" all of Ukraine or just the Dombas region?

21:52:33 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               see nrc pig report on counterfeit and fraudulent parts in operating nuclear plants. They just went buggy on me when I said there was a study showing elevated rates of leukemia within a five mile radius of an operating 1,200 megawatt nuke plant. Mom dead of leukemia at age 78. downwinder strontium-90: also epidemic of thyroid cancer both kansas and Tokyo.

               Great independent programs like https://breakthroughnews.org are putting out great content

21:52:50 From  Jack Cohen-Joppa  to  Hosts and panelists:

               It isn’t necessary to reject all criticism of Russia to condemn US imperialism. A pox on both their houses. A consistent anti war perspective cannot endorse a nuclear power’s militarism.

21:52:55 From  Jon Olsen  to  Everyone:

               Long overdue to confront mass media outlets physically--pickets and blockades.

               Great statement published today on the recent developments from the PSL: https://www.liberationnews.org/psl-statement-nato-expansion-must-end-to-guarantee-peace-in-ukraine/

21:53:09 From  David Swanson  to  Everyone:

               Ukraine was not at war with Russia until NATO started “helping” — this is basic chronology.

21:53:18 From  Beth Angel  to  Everyone:

               -https://fair.org/home/what-you-should-really-know-about-ukraine/

21:53:21 From  Lise Auffray  to  Everyone:

               Damn good points.  Seems everyone I know hates Putin. So did I until now.

21:53:28 From  Bill Dores  to  Everyone:

               US politicians and media, corporate flunkies all, demonize Putin as they did Saddam. But the US war machine didn’t invade Iraq  just to kill Saddam. It went to destroy Iraq. Today they seek to destroy Russia. For the same reason-corporate profit.

21:53:29 From  Russell Buckbee  to  Everyone:

               Yes we provoked Russia, bu now they are responding with war threats. How do we get both to back down?

21:53:34 From  Jeffrey Bockser  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Thanks Donald

21:53:40 From  Robyn Dolgin  to  Everyone:

               Also, how do we get the reality of the destruction of the military and war- even at home on our lands, to our air and water - in front of people?  We need to put pressure on Environmental Orgs to connect the dots between war and environmental destruction. At times I consider letting those I support know that I am withdrawing my support until they speak against war and the military.

21:53:49 From  David Swanson  to  Everyone:

               The US govt funds over 90% of world’s most oppressive govts. Any opposition to Russia has nothing to do with what kind of government it is.

21:54:04 From  Mary Anne Grady Flores  to  Everyone:

               people can put questions in the chat for the panelists to answer in the end

21:54:09 From  Alma Bruhnke  to  Everyone:

               Folks should watch Oliver Stone's "The Putin Diaries"...3 or 4 one-hour interviews done about 5 years ago. SUPER background on to where Russians are coming from.

21:54:11 From  David Swanson  to  Everyone:

               The corporate media is worse than the government or the weapons dealers, and is where we should be protesting.

21:54:14 From  HARRIET HEYWOOD  to  Everyone:

               Somehow, the focus should be off of Putin and onto all the innocent people who are being targeted by the war machine.

21:54:20 From  David Keil  to  Everyone:

               Our job is to restrain our own state. We don't have to be Putin enthusiasts to focus on our job.

21:54:21 From  Gustavo F.  to  Everyone:

               Many on the so-called left are not saying or doing anything because Biden is president. Again if Trump was president I think we would be seeing more activism.

21:54:22 From  Jack Cohen-Joppa  to  Everyone:

               It isn’t necessary to reject all criticism of Russia to condemn US imperialism. A pox on both their nuclear houses. A consistent anti war perspective cannot excuse a nuclear power’s militarism.

21:54:36 From  Sara Flounders IAC NYC she/her  to  Joe Lombardo UNAC New York(Direct Message):

               JOE What List are you looking at? PLEASE use the Google List

               NATO has moved 600 miles east since 1991.

               Who is the aggressor?

               Did Russia move its country?

21:54:42 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Americans need to be honest with themselves: are we against war, or are we just against wars that we are losing? There was a huge rally to leave Afghanistan. Why are we so jingoistic about engaging in Ukraine so quickly now?

21:54:43 From  Matt Owen  to  Everyone:

               I'm one of those PFP registrants: I intend to campaign for PFP to join the California independence movement, trusting the Greens to carry on the fight in the US...

               Don Smith, there are some great quotes from consersative US folks re the problem of NATO expansion that shows US aggression. We should put them all in one place so you can use them with your relatives

               Yeah Jim, Jack and Felice! and many friends

21:55:33 From  Lois Gagnon  to  Everyone:

               I also think we need to take on the war mongering media as well as the government. They work in tandem.

21:55:34 From  Ingrid Monkiewicz  to  Hosts and panelists:

               RUSSELL, after you back someone into a corner, you want to tell them to "back down?"

21:55:37 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               Biden's State of the Union is March 1st, 9pm eastern time.   We need to storm it somehow.

21:55:53 From  Mary Anne Grady Flores  to  Everyone:

               Yes on that media proposal

21:55:54 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               EPA radnet

21:55:54 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Karen Jeffers, Russia is stepping in at the request of leaders in the breakaway republics in the Donbass area -- to protect the people from shelling by Ukrainian militia. Kyiv opposes their separation. 14,000 people have already been killed in the Donbas. Russia is not invading, and has no plans whatsoever to invade Ukraine. That's a psyche being perpetrated on Americans and the world by the U.S. military complex and NATO.

21:55:59 From  Matt Owen  to  Everyone:

               What happened to the Soviet Union when Russia left it? We can do the same to the US!

21:56:08 From  Matt Almonte  to  Everyone:

               the current situation is similar to the 2008 conflict with Georgia actually. Russian troops have been in the independent breakaway regions of Ossetia and Abkhazia for 14 years. the past 8 years Ukraine failed to deliver on Minsk to give Donbas autonomy. I don't think the situation is as potential serious as its made out to be, it will most likely be similar to how things have been in Georgia over the past 14 years

21:56:19 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Interesting Idea Dianne Foster!

21:56:31 From  Pamela K Babkin-Tetarenko  to  Everyone:

               For anyone interested in joining a Citizen Advocacy delegation to Russia, Crimea and very likely also the Donbass at this point, here is a link to Sharon Tennison and Center for Citizen Initiative.  I have traveled with Sharon and the Centre and will be going again in September.  https://ccisf.org/.  I hope this is helpful.

21:56:31 From  Koichi Toyoshima  to  Everyone:

               Even Japan's left wing, the Communist Party, has expressed a one-sided anti-Russian attitude. For example, the following article. It is in Japanese only.

               Title: Russia must withdraw its recognition of "independence" and its order to deploy troops

               https://www.jcp.or.jp/akahata/aik21/2022-02-23/2022022301_01_0.html

21:56:32 From  Jean Stevens  to  Everyone:

               I love it, “culture not combat”!  The great artists, musicians, filmmakers, dancers are crying out from the art historical and humanities books!  Imagine losing the great museums, libraries and architectural wonders due to this insanity as a result of a potential nuke war!

21:56:34 From  Alvin Ja  to  Everyone:

               Part of the problem, even in the "left", is unconscious and deeply ingrained sense of Western superiority/moral arrogance/American Exceptionalism.

21:57:45 From  Stan Woods  to  Everyone:

I have seen LOTS of social media posts by supposed Ukrainian nationals begging Americans to "save" them from Russian aggression and the shelling they say is from Russia etc., My progressive friends are fooled and end up re-posting these and BOOSTING the fascists!

               Lauren, there was no crisis until NATO ginned it up — for NATO to sell itself as the solution to a problem it created is a problem — not because there’s anything good about what Russia is doing, but because NATO created this

               I would recommend visiting the website of Dr.Paul Craig Roberts, www.paulcraigroberts.org , as well as his cogent analysis of theoreeminent ideology that guides so much of the US government's domestic and particularly foreign policy: the  dogma of neoconservatism. . Dr. Roberts' book The Neoconservative Threat to World Order. Neoconservatives were responsible for the disastrous Iraq War and many of the subsequent wars in the Middle East over the last 20 years, as well as the so called color revolutions in the former Soviet Union, including the US State Department orchestrated Maidan revolution.Also visit  the Council for the National Interest, www.councilforthenationalinterest.org

               Also, note some right wing politicians are calling for the US to call off war with Russia--so they can better wage war with China.  Let's be cautious about the rightwing position: out of the frying pan into the fire is not an antiwar position.

               Ukrops wear the emblem of 2nd Waffen SS Das Reich who massacred 642 men, women and children in Oradour on June 1944 in France. After the war the French govt hunted down Das Reich.

               Today French president Macron is supporting the Kiev regime. French people will get enraged when they are made aware of it.

22:09:15 From  Al Ronzoni  to  Everyone:

               This article reiterates point made by David Swanson above and also cites the 2/22 OSCE Donbass Monitors report and accompanying map. The clear majority of shelling was coming from Ukraine. Putin's action were in response to this, though I worry they may make it impossible to get back to the Minsk framework now: https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/21/putin-recognizes-donbass-independence-as-violence-soars/

22:10:06 From  Paul Gilman  to  Everyone:

               Bronx Greens point out that way too many Leftists and Liberals caved into the anti-Trump hysteria and supported Biden.  Now look what happened.  Don't support neo-Liberal Imperialist anymore!  It's a failed strategy.  Leave the Democrapic party en mass.

22:11:26 From  David Swanson  to  Everyone:

               We need to listen to tough questions. What happened to that speaker?

22:11:28 From  John Turcot  to  Everyone:

               Connecting the dots isn't that difficult. Nuclear arsenals were made for the same reason as all the previous arsenals were ever made, starting with wooden clubs... If the reasons why they needed to make clubs, nuclear arsenals have the same reasons for existence.

22:11:33 From  Jeffrey Bockser  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Someone answer Dolores’s question?

22:11:35 From  Matt Nicodemus  to  Everyone:

               Ariel Ky, thank you very much for your comment.  I have heard precious little in tonight's presentations and comments beyond criticism of the status quo (which DOES need  criticizing).  Presenting proposals for positive alternatives, hopefully on a strong base of evidence, is essential for forward progress.

22:11:37 From  Christine Japely  to  Everyone:

               For NYC folks: Tuesday, March 1st is the National Yemen Day of Action. Join us at Rep. Meeks's District office in Jamaica, Queens at 12pm to demand his support for a War Powers Resolution.

22:11:38 From  Zheila Ommani  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Yes!!! Yes! Subtract California and US imperialism takes a MAJOR hit! LA here and I support this!

22:11:40 From  HARRIET HEYWOOD  to  Everyone:

               That previous speaker is a perfect example of the narrative promoted by the status quo.

22:11:47 From  Gerry Condon  to  Everyone:

               She made her point briefly and stopped talking.

22:11:57 From  Stephen Crozier  to  Everyone:

               Cutting someone off is an act of aggression. I think the woman was asking a question worth considering. I hope it was a technical glitch, but I didn't hear an apology for that.

22:11:59 From  Joseph Rosenzweig  to  Everyone:

               Writing to second the proposal for a national day of action to Go to The People, to leaflet at bus-stops, grocery-store parking lots, etc. We need to imbue our fellow workers with a reflexive opposition to all US wars which only benefit the ultra-rich (energy monopolies, war profiteering corporations, etc.) We need to boil it down: US war means for mass murder for corporate profits. Up with workers’ welfare, down with capitalist warfare

22:12:00 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Thanks to Dolores for asking that provocative question. And thanks to Zach Farber for reminding us that it’s all in the messaging we get from the western media.

22:12:05 From  Andre Sheldon  to  Everyone:

               The people are not enemies.  Arundhati Roy and Howard Zinn used to say that the governments are creating the conflict, but the people are not. 

              

               Let's REACH OUT TO THE PEOPLE via committing to nonviolence and surround every media outlet  in every village, town, and city in every country with our message! -- Like Alice Slater desires

               ingenious! That's the word that I was looking for. We need to brainstorm ingenious strategies.

22:13:02 From  Alice Slater  to  Everyone:

               They killed 14;000 people in the Donbas as Ukraine ignored the negotiated Minsk agreement which Putin was urging we abide by to figure out a status foe Donbas in some kind of federal system with fascist Ukraine in the west, and the US kept selling arms the whole time that were used to murder people during the ceasefire after the Crimea vote!

22:13:07 From  Zach Kerner  to  Hosts and panelists:

               It wasn’t a “tough question”

22:13:14 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

               no she was repeating the war mongers arguments we already got that 24/7!

22:13:17 From  Paul Gilman  to  Everyone:

               Medea, still supporting Democrats?

22:13:35 From  Kathy Guruwaya  to  Everyone:

               probably

22:13:44 From  Erica Caines  to  Everyone:

               Hehehe

22:13:52 From  Richard Ochs  to  Everyone:

22:14:03 From  Jean Stevens  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Yes, David!

22:14:04 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Yes, I agree David  Swanson. The U.S. role and NATO role gets lost here.

22:14:13 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

               Russia is not the aggressor. NATO is !

22:14:16 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               but isn't the conflict really over the fact that ukraine has sold its resources to multinational corporations. so they should ask Kelcy Warren to send his mercenary troops to protect them!

22:14:18 From  Vanessa Maria  to  Everyone:

               Yes, agreed David!

22:14:19 From  Barbara Laxon  to  Everyone:

               Green Party is a start

22:14:27 From  Darren Grant  to  Everyone:

               A stand against imperialism is more than a stand against wars and coups these are just methods the MO is economic domination

22:14:33 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Yes, don't let the mass corporate media muddle everyone's minds. Keep setting them straight.

22:14:34 From  Erica Caines  to  Everyone:

               END THE US/EU/ NATO AXIS OF DOMINATION

22:14:47 From  Matt Owen  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Four out of five trillion-dollar companies are in Silicon Valley! We need to liberate California from the lot!

22:14:50 From  Erica Caines  to  Everyone:

               US and human rights is an oxymoron

22:14:53 From  HARRIET HEYWOOD  to  Everyone:

               Right on Margaret

22:15:02 From  Jim Haber  to  Everyone:

               Why was the critical woman's question cut suddenly?

22:15:04 From  Erica Caines  to  Everyone:

               💯

22:15:04 From  Paul Karitis  to  Everyone:

               Right on Erica Caines!

22:15:05 From  Patricia Marida  to  Everyone:

               There are likely a number of trolls on this call. If that woman had been listening to this webinar, she would have been able to answer her own questions,

22:15:07 From  Alma Bruhnke  to  Everyone:

               It is foolish to try and cancel Medea. Sorry. All efforts are to try to move everyone in an anti-war direction. Widen the tent. Don't make it a wet blanket.

22:15:12 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Get in the habit of writing challenging notes to reporters you disagree with. Write to media editors as well.

22:15:27 From  Bill Dores  to  Hosts and panelists:

               I remember CNN reporting “US B52 bombers hammered Saddam Hussein again today.”

22:15:35 From  Rachel Clark  to  Everyone:

               Yes, we had enough of media propaganda in past wars. Why people still believe those lies?

22:15:39 From  Paul Gilman  to  Everyone:

               While we are at it, lets denounce sectarian chauvinism that winds up dividing the movement!

22:15:44 From  Alan Maki  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Everyone here should write a letter to the editor; if they refuse to publish it print it up as a leaflet to pass out all over the place.

22:15:49 From  K.J. Noh  to  Everyone:

               The US not only funds 90% of dictatorships around the world, it  has put many of them into power.

22:15:50 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               An alarmingly large population of neo-Nazis in Ukraine. US media does not mention that.

22:15:51 From  Vicki Ryder  to  Everyone:

               Ariel was disconnected because she reached the 2-minute limit, not because of the content of her speech. I can't agree with her premise, though. GI resistance in Vietnam was a major factor in ending the US war there. We must Resist! Insist! Persist!

22:16:03 From  Sonny Rawls  to  Everyone:

               Thanks, Al Ronzoni. That's what I've been looking for for hours - today's osce SSM report with map

22:16:06 From  Tyrone Melville  to  Everyone:

               I would also recommend watching the BBC documentary on nuclear warfare titled " Threads"(1984). It very realistically depicts the aftermath of a nuclear exchange between NATO and the former Soviet Union. It is a grim reminder of just how bad things could get for ordinary citizens on both sides.

22:16:07 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Rachel Clark, what a great question.

22:16:16 From  Carolyn Scarr  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Massively left out the religious antiwar activists

22:16:17 From  Dianne Foster  to  Everyone:

               I'm surprised Putin took so long to defend the ethnically Russian citizens of the Donbass.

22:16:18 From  Faramarz  to  Everyone:

               Ethnic Russians in Ukraine aren't just expats, many are native to the regions that the USSR assigned to the Ukrainian SSR.

22:16:32 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               The Vietnam War was a long time ago.

               Thanks, Tyrone.

22:16:43 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Russia's actions are both strategic and defensive. There seems to be a normalization of it being OK to fire on nonviolent protesters. Bullet cover. www.committeetoprotectjournalists.org good videos for prep

22:16:50 From  RAfiki Morris  to  Everyone:

               The purpose of the demonstrations is to educate our people about the nature and extent of the US war machine. This is about creating mass consciousness, not changing Biden's mind.

22:16:51 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               It has been PROVEN that slogans repeated often, really work. WE should develop some monikers -- so every time you say Media, say "War Profit Media"

22:17:12 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

22:17:14 From  Philippe Gendrault  to  Everyone:

               Let’s transform imperialist wars into wars against imperialism, self-defense for life and for peace!

22:17:15 From  K.J. Noh  to  Everyone:

               Note also, the social media companies--they serve as gatekeepers, censors, and amplifiers for war propaganda and lies.  MSM+SM=total propaganda.

22:17:23 From  Lauren Steiner  to  Everyone:

               Yeah, I say that Margaret but where is the evidence that they are arming and training? I mean I can say it, but it is like the State Dept guy saying Russia is making a video with crisis actors and when asked where is the evidence, he said, it was that the State Dept said it. Can you link the primary sources?

22:17:24 From  Jeanie Hagedorn  to  Everyone:

               The Catholic Peace Ministry in Des Moines, Iowa is sponsoring a presentation tomorrow evening Wed. 1-23 at 7:00 pm Central time.  Jeffrey Weiss., a knowledgeable teacher at DMACC has a  power point based on his research about this very issue of the current crisis with Russia in Ukraine.   I encourage you to join us at this link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86031455575?pwd=RUZKdU9YcnNFUi9RaktGODBFdHhsUT09

               It could be Kabuki Theatre to pull western media away from China Olympics.

22:17:41 From  Richard Wright  to  Everyone:

               @Ariel: no the Vietnam war continues today. Jo Biden is essentially a George Meany democrat.

22:17:47 From  Ahjamu Makalani  to  Hosts and panelists:

               What does that mean to be an “American”?

22:17:55 From  Kathy Guruwaya  to  Everyone:

               TY Jeanie

22:18:00 From  Matt Owen  to  Hosts and panelists:

               unite

22:19:07 From  Alma Bruhnke  to  Everyone:

               Yes! Let's get to our Congressional offices publicly! We also are going to our town's monthly First Thursday to pass literature, and to our Farmers Market, too.

22:19:14 From  Matt Nicodemus  to  Everyone:

               Margaret Flowers, your statement that U.S. citizens should focus on influencing our gov't while the Russian people should focus on influencing theirs ignores the inability for those Russian citizens to speak and protest openly against their government's policies and practices.  We can and must stand with Russian citizens AND American citizens at the same time.

22:19:14 From  Paul Gilman  to  Everyone:

               Ajamu Braka is right, a peace congress is a good idea!

22:19:15 From  Alan Maki  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Thanks for this eye opening webinar tonight

22:19:40 From  Suzanne Sparks  to  Everyone:

               I have read that 89% of our Senators and Representatives hold dual citizenship with  Israel.  Where does Israel figure in this???

22:19:43 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Excellent idea, Ajamu Baraka! Let our politicians know in person what we think when they are coming to their constituents. Oh, i'd love to see the issue of peace become part of our elections. I'm not sure that I see the vulnerability of the military budget, though.

22:19:45 From  Bruce Gagnon, Global Network, Bath, Maine  to  Everyone:

22:19:57 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               I want the green party to establish a cabinet of experts and a shadow government that we can all declare ourselves WORLD CITIZENS and THIS is our government.

22:20:10 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               Friedman? GIve us a break . . . After Cheerleading Invasion of Iraq, Tom Friedman Glorifies Saudi Arabia’s War Criminal

               Thomas Friedman, who called the invasion of Iraq “the most radical-liberal revolutionary war the US has ever launched,” is now singing the praises of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.

22:20:17 From  Sally Jones  to  Everyone:

               Thank you for the idea, Medea!

22:20:19 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               Davis Swanson, I'm on that wavelength

22:20:27 From  Debra James  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Ajamu Baraka’s call for a Peace Congress needs to be heeded!

22:20:29 From  Donald Keller  to  Everyone:

               Biden's eyes kept blinking when he said that the US will not fight in Ukraine today, he knows that he's lying and can't hide it.

22:20:39 From  Jim Haber  to  Everyone:

               Resources: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/the-ukraine-crisis-commentary-responses-and-background/?link_id=6&can_id=4dd9fe2dc5f0ed4a2c5e977ca86d9acb&source=email-no-war-in-ukraine-then-no-war-anywhere&email_referrer=email_1451331&email_subject=no-war-in-ukraine-then-no-war-anywhere

22:20:40 From  HARRIET HEYWOOD  to  Everyone:

               Thanks Medea

22:20:55 From  Lauren Steiner  to  Everyone:

               This is the Twitter thread I was referring to. Any rebuttal points would be helpful. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1496047631969234944.html

22:21:00 From  Jeffrey Bockser  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Wonderful Event!

22:21:01 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               Friedman should be in the docks --  What they [presumably Muslim masses] needed to see was American boys and girls going house to house, from Basra to Baghdad, and basically saying: ‘Which part of this sentence don’t you understand? You don’t think, you know, we care about our open society, you think this bubble fantasy, we’re just gonna to let it grow? Well, Suck. On. This.’ That, Charlie, is what this war is about. We could have hit Saudi Arabia; it was part of that bubble. Could have hit Pakistan. We hit Iraq because we could.”

22:21:01 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Brilliant Zoom tonight . . . I’ve never been on one this large. Thanks to all!

22:21:02 From  Donald Smith  to  Everyone:

               Why can't we save the chat?

22:21:06 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               They're already throwing people over the side. www.wendellpotter.com. 45,000/yr die no health insurance-numbers probably higher after COVID. Harvard public health. Seen studies about how white.doctors disconnect with black women patien6s.

22:21:06 From  Sheila Goldner  to  Everyone:

               Wish we could have saved the chat.

22:21:12 From  Robert RICHARD  to  Everyone:

               We can't have Sec. of States like Hilary Clinton have all options on the table ever again.

22:21:13 From  Robyn Dolgin  to  Everyone:

               And a Dept of Peace - Congresswoman Barbara Lee's Department of Peacebuilding Act of 2021

22:21:13 From  Matt Owen  to  Hosts and panelists:

               I'm gonna repost the Oliver Stone video... ;-)

22:21:14 From  Zheila Ommani  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Thank you Sara!!!!

22:21:15 From  K.J. Noh  to  Everyone:

               It's foolish for US citizens saying that they will speak for Russians--whose opinions seem to coincide with the western MSM.  Stick to what we know and what we can affect.

22:21:22 From  Jim Haber  to  Everyone:

               http://www.unitedforpeace.org/the-ukraine-crisis-commentary-responses-and-background/?

22:21:32 From  Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK, Washington DC  to  Everyone:

               Sign up here for Saturday international online rally here: https://www.codepink.org/ukraine_022622

               we protested Ukrops at Ukraine consulate !

22:22:10 From  Paul Haeder  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Friedman on that other creep's show, Charlie Rose -- What they [presumably Muslim masses] needed to see was American boys and girls going house to house, from Basra to Baghdad, and basically saying: ‘Which part of this sentence don’t you understand? You don’t think, you know, we care about our open society, you think this bubble fantasy, we’re just gonna to let it grow? Well, Suck. On. This.’ That, Charlie, is what this war is about. We could have hit Saudi Arabia; it was part of that bubble. Could have hit Pakistan. We hit Iraq because we could.”

22:22:12 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

               Most people were supportive

22:22:20 From  Michael Beer  to  Everyone:

               We can oppose US racism, militarism and imperialism without apologizing for Putin's  racism, imperialism and militarism.  We need a new security architecture for Europe. NATO should disband and US troops should come home. Russia needs to withdraw its annexation of Crimea and to withdraw its support for Luhansk, Donetsk, South Ossetia and Abkhazia and Transniester.  We need to oppose militarism and imperialism everywhere, US, Russia, China, India, Brazil, Israel, Morocco, etc.

22:22:21 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               A strange solitude, I'll bet .. .

22:22:25 From  Sally Jones  to  Everyone:

               Good advice, Sara!

22:22:52 From  Lauren Steiner  to  Everyone:

               Confusion and to manufacture consent.

22:22:54 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Yes, Sara Flounders. Our mass media are masters of deception.

22:22:54 From  Faramak Zahraie  to  Everyone:

               Ukrainians and Russians are same people divided by imperialists psyop.

22:22:58 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               You all organized this, so ....are you enabling networking and organizing from this event?

22:23:10 From  Paul Gilman  to  Everyone:

               This isn't about Putin, it's about planetary survival.

22:23:10 From  Janet Weil  to  Everyone:

               Reach out to environmental and climate organizations! This is already harming the global climate and the regional environment.

22:23:13 From  Werner Lange  to  Everyone:

               In war, truth is the first casualty. Peacemakers here kept truth alive. Thanks.

22:23:18 From  Galaxy A10e  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Ultimately militarist are killing themselves. Suicides and overdoses higher than ever.

22:23:18 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               I would like to track any defense investments in the corporate US media.

22:23:22 From  Christian Lourdin  to  Everyone:

               NATO is the ennemy not Russia

22:23:24 From  Paul Haeder  to  Hosts and panelists:

               Friedman’s journalistic crimes are not limited to supporting the invasion of Iraq. Last April he suggested that the US should not fight Daesh in Syria, writing,

              

               Why should our goal right now be to defeat the Islamic State in Syria? Of course, ISIS is detestable and needs to be eradicated. But is it really in our interest to be focusing solely on defeating ISIS in Syria right now? ….. We could simply back off fighting territorial ISIS in Syria and make it entirely a problem for Iran, Russia, Hezbollah and Assad. After all, they’re the ones overextended in Syria, not us. Make them fight a two-front war – the moderate rebels on one side and ISIS on the other. If we defeat territorial ISIS in Syria now, we will only reduce the pressure on Assad, Iran, Russia and Hezbollah and enable them to devote all their resources to crushing the last moderate rebels in Idlib [in northwest Syria], not sharing power with them.”

22:23:29 From  Martha Schmidt  to  Everyone:

               Focus on the US, don't be distracted by complaints made about Russia or other countries. We have to oppose all forms of war.  The US is the problem we need to address.

22:23:37 From  Paul Haeder  to  Everyone:

               Friedman’s journalistic crimes are not limited to supporting the invasion of Iraq. Last April he suggested that the US should not fight Daesh in Syria, writing,

22:23:39 From  Karen Jeffers-Tracy  to  Everyone:

               Paul Gilman -- correct! War is the end of climate hope.

22:23:43 From  Ariel Ky  to  Everyone:

               Maybe we could have a webinar with breakaway rooms for people to talk to each other and get to know each other on the call.

22:23:43 From  Tyrone Melville  to  Everyone:

               Remember that neoconservative Victoria Nuland spent 5 billion American taxdollars to bankroll the US directed coup against the democratically elected Ukrainian government of victor Yanukovich in 2014, bringing the neonazis in Kiev in power.NATO is an expensive anachronism that should have been dissolved when the USSR collapsed in 1991. NATO no longer serves a defensive military purpose, it is a weapon of  the belligerent neoconservative foreign policy of Washington,DC.

22:23:56 From  Erica Caines  to  Everyone:

               I SURE DO NEED IT BACK

22:23:56 From  David Keil  to  Everyone:

               Churches and unions need to be brought into the struggle for peace.

22:24:06 From  Scott Malec  to  Everyone:

               US is the only country we can country (or not). US is the primary driver of, well, making Earth, our beautiful garden, a barren hellscape. Let's focus change at home.

22:24:08 From  K.J. Noh  to  Everyone:

               If you're American, you should oppose US racism, imperialism, and militarism.  No need to focus on other imagined and propagandized projections onto other countries.  You have your hands full.

22:24:15 From  Joseph Rosenzweig  to  Everyone:

               hear hear. People need to know that they’re being robbed by war profiteers

22:24:17 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

               We’re stressed and distracted. That can be lethal to citizen awareness.

22:24:19 From  Scott Malec  to  Everyone:

               Exactly.

22:24:19 From  Jack Cohen-Joppa  to  Everyone:

               If your resistance to war in Ukraine results in arrest, please let us know at nukeresister@igc.org.

22:25:00 From  John Turcot  to  Everyone:

               All wars start for only one reason... the survival of the fittest, and the fittest are those who have the strongest weapons. As long as one person on the planet feels unsafe, as in being homeless,  because of the rest of us, nuclear arsenals are here until the day when none of have a home.

22:25:00 From  S. A. Linden  to  Hosts and panelists:

22:25:36 From  Martha Schmidt  to  Everyone:

               We need health care as a human right with single payer financing. This war is an attempted distraction from the gross failure of the US to stop the deaths attributable to the pandemic.

               A great webinar. In Canada our government is very active supporting the right wing government of Ukraine. Our government is also planning to purchase 88 new fighter jets, a lot more nuclear submarines, tanks, and drones, increasing our military budget considerably. Don't think Canada is a peace maker.
